From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Some of my friends were arguing thaat this expression was used several times in a movie. I can't recall it at all. Can anyone remember such a movie? See you soon Not if I see you first Any ideas? |

From: Peg In Peter Weir's Gallipoli (about the slaughter/sacrifice of Australian infantry on the Turkish shores during WWI), two characters have a back and forth several times: "See ya when I see ya." "Not if I see you first." It's the only film reference I can think of. The film is well worth seeing in any case. |

It may well have been IN a movie, but it 'feels' like an expression that would just naturally pop up in converstaion if it had never been in a movie.....it's just too obvious! |
